Brief Answer:
Looks like a mild eczema or skin allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi... I have just seen the image. This looks like a Eczema or mild sort of skin allergy.

Thishis is not because of diapers. I appreciate that you are using diapers only for the night time. Please continue that.

The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Atogla will help.
